Dettweiler@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like.English20·2 years agoThey’re using a very dated design because the FAA moves extremely slowly. The size, weight, and wide-scale intended use of them puts the drones in an aircraft category that comes with a lot of paperwork and stipulations.
Overdrive filters and leaving the EQ knobs alone so everything gets muddy.
That’s pretty much it.
Full disclosure, I did not read the article.
Dettweiler@lemmy.worldto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Boeing, NASA, and United Airlines test sustainable aviation fuelEnglish3·2 years agoFermentation is a natural process, so there’s no energy input to the process. As for output, you get almost the same energy density as standard diesel, and some excellent fertilizer. For a farming area, it’s very self sustaining. Farmers bring their excess crop waste and manure, they get fuel and fertilizer in return. Also, the methane that off-gasses during fermentation is collected and burned to supplement the power grid.
Considering it’s mostly being used in this application, it works very well. However, I can see it falling way behind if scaled for widespread use in industrial and non-argricultural uses, where dedicated crops would be grown and harvested. Regardless, it’s a good way to cut down demand for standard fuel products for areas that can sustain a large biofuel digester.

However, it still produces CO2 when it combusts.

Sounds like you need a new doctor

Dettweiler@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind itEnglish15·2 years agoHTC, Valve, and Oculus (well before the Facebook buyout) established very early on that frame rates of 90 fps or higher with a response time of <1 ms were critical factors for preventing motion sickness. Meta either hasn’t gotten the memo or just doesn’t care.
Even with well-established VR legs, I start feeling unpleasant if my FPS starts dropping below 75 for extended periods of time.
Aside from that, it’s also down to game development. I’ve been seeing newer, inexperienced VR developers creating scenes that don’t take into consideration how our brains perceive motion; and they end up creating some nausea-inducing scenes or game mechanics, in addition to doing things like shoving your head onto the floor or through an object. The easiest example is pressing into a wall or table, and the colliders shove your head and body back when you’re not expecting it.

Reddit Won.English15·2 years agoReddit was never going to “die” from the protests, but it’s certainly a shell of what it used to be. Technically, Digg, MySpace, and Tumblr are still around, and they still see daily users. They’ve just completely fallen out of popularity.

For example, Airbus airplanes inform pilots during every landing of what they should be doing. Some may argue it reminds the pilots what they are, should they fail to do so.

It’s because the airline tells them they have to require it, and it’s critical not to deviate from policy when it comes to safety. The airline is being told to require it by their governing authority, who updates rules and regulations at the speed of bureaucracy and an air of “but did you die, tho?”.
